Last month, David and I visited Door of Hope, a church in SE Portland off of Hawthorne. We had a few friends that went there, and we wanted to see what they were a part of. It was beautiful. Hundreds of youth (and many not the typical church going type) with hands lifted high worshipping Jesus. It was exciting to see what the Lord is doing in the lives of many who have struggled with figuring out what Jesus is truly about vs. how Christian culture has been thus defined. The message was solid and the music...definitely made me feel like I was around a campfire by the beach singing with friends. It was wonderful.
We heard this song, and couldn't get it out of our head since:
John Mark McMillan - Skeleton Bones from john mark mcmillan on Vimeo.
Peel back our ribs again
and stand inside of our chest.
We just wanna' love you
We just wanna' love you
Peel back the veil of time
And let us see You with our naked eyes
We just wanna' love you
We just wanna' love you
We want your blood to flow inside our body
We want your wind inside our lungs
We just wanna' love you
We just wanna' love you
Skeleton bones stand at the sound of eternity
On the lips of the found
And gravestones roll
To the rhythm of the sound of you
Skeleton bones stand at the sound of eternity
On the lips of the found
So separate those doors
And let the son of resurrection in.
Oh let us adore the
Son of Glory drenched in love
Open up your gates before him
Crown Him, stand Him up
I am currently enjoying more of John Mark McMillan's great folk rock songs with thoughtful lyrics on Myspace Music. Don't miss, Death in His Grave , a great song and video.
Also, the pastor of Door to Hope, Josh White is coming out with an album that you can currently listen to on Grooveshark.
P.S. Do you recognize Josh White's voice? He was the lead singer of the band Telecast.
